Seattle’s Stealth PPF Specialists
Performance is about more than protecting paint. It’s about enhancing the appearance of your vehicle while preserving the finish underneath.
At Benchmark Auto Salon, we specialize in professional XPEL STEALTH™ Paint Protection Film installation for drivers throughout Seattle, Bellevue, Lynnwood, and the surrounding Puget Sound area. Whether you’re protecting a factory matte finish or transforming a glossy vehicle into a sleek satin appearance, our precision installation ensures exceptional results that are built to last.
What Is XPEL STEALTH™ Paint Protection Film?
XPEL STEALTH™ is a premium satin paint protection film that provides the same industry-leading protection as traditional gloss PPF. The difference is its distinctive satin appearance.
Unlike vinyl wraps that primarily change color or appearance, STEALTH PPF is engineered to protect your original paint from everyday damage while creating a sophisticated satin finish. It guards against rock chips, road debris, light scratches, swirl marks, bird droppings, bug acids, tree sap, UV damage, and environmental staining.
If your vehicle already has a factory matte finish, the delicate paint can be difficult and expensive to repair. XPEL STEALTH preserves this original look while offering a layer of protection.
Why Seattle Drivers Choose XPEL STEALTH PPF
Seattle drivers choose XPEL STEALTH PPF because it combines premium paint protection with a distinctive satin finish that keeps vehicles looking exceptional for years to come.
Transform Gloss Paint into Satin
Love the look of matte vehicles without permanently repainting your car? STEALTH creates a premium satin finish while allowing your original paint color to show through.
Protect Factory Matte Paint
Many luxury and performance vehicles now come with factory matte finishes that cannot be polished when damaged. STEALTH helps protect these specialty finishes from costly repairs.
Self-Healing Technology
Fine scratches and swirl marks disappear with heat from the sun or warm water, helping your vehicle maintain a clean, refined appearance.
Outstanding Stain Resistance
Seattle weather means rain, road grime, bugs, and tree debris. XPEL’s advanced top coat helps resist staining and makes routine washing significantly easier.
UV Protection
STEALTH helps protect your paint from fading and environmental exposure while maintaining its satin appearance for years.
Preserve Resale Value
Keeping the original paint protected underneath the film helps maintain the condition and value of your investment.

Western Washington roads expose your vehicle to constant hazards. XPEL STEALTH is engineered to withstand:

Common Questions About XPEL STEALTH PPF
A matte vinyl wrap is primarily designed to change your vehicle’s appearance. XPEL STEALTH Paint Protection Film not only creates a satin finish but also protects your paint from rock chips, scratches, stains, and everyday wear.
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of XPEL STEALTH is its ability to transform a glossy paint finish into an elegant satin appearance while preserving the original paint underneath.
No. It’s popular for both factory matte vehicles and glossy vehicles whose owners want the sophisticated look of satin paint without repainting the car.
With proper care, XPEL STEALTH Paint Protection Film is backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty and is designed to provide years of long-lasting protection.
Yes. STEALTH is designed for everyday driving and routine washing. Its stain-resistant surface makes bugs, dirt, and road grime much easier to remove than unprotected paint.
STEALTH is especially popular on Tesla, Rivian, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and other luxury or performance vehicles where both appearance and long-term paint preservation are priorities.
Absolutely. XPEL STEALTH Paint Protection Film and a professional XPEL ceramic coating complement each other exceptionally well. While STEALTH PPF protects against rock chips, scratches, and road debris, a ceramic coating adds a hydrophobic layer that helps repel water, dirt, bugs, and other contaminants.
The result is a satin finish that’s easier to clean, better protected from environmental exposure, and stays looking its best with less maintenance. Many of our Seattle customers choose to install a ceramic coating over their XPEL STEALTH PPF for the highest level of long-term protection.
